Lyrics
LITTLE SPARROW CAN YOU
SEE ME IN THE DARK
I KNOW IT'S COLD AND LONELY
DARLIN' I'D GIVE ANYTHING
TO HOLD YOUR HEART
AND CHASE THE SHADOW'S AWAY 'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT TO BLAME
DON'T BE AFRAID OR ASHAMED
DON'T LOCK YOUR HEART AWAY
LITTLE SPARROW
HARD TIMES ARE COMIN'
AND I WISH I COULD CHANGE IT
BUT YOU'LL BE ALRIGHT
AND I'LL HELP YOU FACE IT
YOU'RE NOT ALONE
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE STRONG
HOLD ON, HOLD ON
'CAUSE IT'S ALWAYS DARKEST
JUST BEFORE THE MORNING COMES
LITTLE SPARROW CAN YOU
HEAR ME IN THE DARK
DON'T LET THEM TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE
BABY I'D DO ANYTHING TO HEAL YOUR SCARS
MAKE ALL THE PAIN DISAPPEAR
AND DRY YOUR TEARS
DON'T BE AFRAID OR ASHAMED
DON'T LOCK YOUR HEART AWAY
THEY ARE THE HUNTERS
WE ARE THE HUNTED
THEY SAY IT'S LOVE
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE CAGES
BORN WITH THESE WINGS
WE WANT TO BE FREE
I'LL WAIT FOR YOU
I'M NOT GONNA LEAVE
AND WE'RE GONNA FLY LITTLE SPARROW WE'RE GONNA FLY
I CAN HEAR YOU IN THE DARK
I'LL HOLD YOUR HAND
YOU HOLD MY HEART
I AM SAFE I'M NOT AFRAID
'CAUSE YOU MAKE ME FREE
YOU MAKE ME BRAVE
